| I just had my NT scan - everything looks normal. I did the cell free dna last week but the results haven’t come out yet. Since my NT scan is normal what are the chances that the results will show a high probability of a fetal abnormality? Or can I more or less relax? I expected my cell free dna results to come before the ultrasound, otherwise I would have asked my OB. Thank you. |

I wouldn’t make decisions to tell people news based on the appearance of the 12-week NT ultrasound. We made that mistake last time around. If the NT measurement looks normal, that’s a good sign for trisomy 21, but you have to wait for the blood test or CF-DNA results to find about trisomy 13/18.
Chances are everything is fine. This is just my jaded experience, which only affects around 1/5,000 pregnancies. |

| Also jaded experience but opposite, NT scan was accurate, NIPT was not. Which obviously speaks well to your situation. |

| OP here. So sorry to hear what you went through PPs. It sounds really stressful. Thank you both for sharing your experiences. Your answers are really helpful. |

First PP here. You should definitely relax a bit though- pregnancy is stressful and chances are everything is ok  these things do happen though. Hopefully you’ll have results in another week
